Remember me telling you about the meteorite in June that crashed into the roof of a house in Henry County, Georgia? Here is a link to more information about it....
I found this very interesting! Just imagine the speed that this was going when it crashed into the house. The owner said they are still picking dust out of the furniture from it! One thing and I know that in the scheme of things, no one else will really care but if they do end up calling this meteorite, the McDonough meteorite, I do hope that they will say the town name correctly. On the news, it is pronounced "MICK- dunna". The locals have always said "Mick-donna". Just a slight difference perhaps but it hurts my ears to hear it incorrectly!
No meteorites in Rockdale County but we do have butterflies! If only they would be still long enough for me to take a few photos for you.
Richard should have some good photos for you! Look out for another post soon!
It irks me, too, when I know the correct pronounciation of a name (person, place or anything else) and hear it pronounced wrongly. Same with spelling. My first name is often spelled wrongly in emails (Mike instead of Meike), and I always, ALWAYS correct it, last but not least because I am not and have never been Mr. Riley!!
